Eagle Parents,
With the school year rapidly winding down, that means it is time for Eagle Staff Appreciation Week.
This is when we once again try to show our ongoing appreciation with little treats/activities each day.  Here is the lineup which we anticipate will be a huge hit!
Monday:  "Eagle staff is the best on the Continent" - Continental Breakfast including Donuts/Muffins, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, and beverages (coffee and tea)
Tuesday: Ice Cream Sundaes - in partnership with Student Council who will be delivering the sundaes to staff
Wednesday:  "You oughta be in pictures" - Movie Day including popcorn, licorice, M&Ms, Junior Mints, Snickers, etc.

Thursday: "You're the Gold Standard in education!" - Gold gift bags filled with "gold" wrapped treats and random/surprise "golden tickets" (i.e. gift cards)
Friday: "BYOB" - Build Your Own Bag-lunch - Sandwich trays, individual chip bags, cookies/brownies and bottled water
Some of our wonderful sponsors will again donate or discount a couple items.  And thanks to your generous donations throughout the year, we have a few funds remaining from prior events which we will put towards more of the main items above but we STILL really need your help to make the rest of the week's events possible.
Once again, thank you SO very much on behalf of the Olathe North Staff for all of your support this year.  We feel so very privileged to be part of this kind, generous group of parents, and as always, we could NOT have done it without you!!

Plans for Outdoor Graduation 2018
The date for the Olathe Public Schools 2018 Graduation is Sunday, May 20. The graduations will be held at the following times:

• Olathe East High School graduation at 2 p.m. at College Boulevard Activity Center
• Olathe North High School graduation at 7 p.m. at Olathe District Activity Center
• Olathe Northwest High School graduation at 7 p.m. at College Boulevard Activity Center
• Olathe South High School graduation at 2 p.m. at Olathe District Activity Center

If weather indicates a need to move indoors, that decision would be made by 9 a.m. on graduation Sunday and ceremonies will take place at home high schools. Notices would be sent via the Blackboard communication system to parents and posted on the district website and social media sites. There will be NO message if outdoor graduation will go on as planned.
All seniors will be allocated a number of graduation tickets to be used ONLY if graduation is moved indoors to the school’s gymnasium. Overflow seating will be available in the South Gym with a video stream.
 
 
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many tickets does each family get for graduation?
A: If the weather is good and graduation is held outside as planned, each family can have as many people attend as they need and no tickets are necessary. If the weather is bad and the graduation ceremony must be held indoors, each family will get 4 tickets.

Q: How will we find out if graduation has to be held indoors?
A: The district will send an email message to all senior parents and will post the information on the district’s website, Facebook and Twitter.
 
There will be more information to come as we get closer to graduation.

Congratulations to the Olathe North Mock Trial team on winning the state championship.
April 26, 2018 ~ The Olathe North High School Mock Trial team was named the 2018 Kansas state champion and has earned the right to compete at the National Mock Trial Championship. The competition will be held mid-May in Reno, Nevada.
Team members Reem Atallah, Alexa Edmonds, Lauren Ellenz, Anchal Gupta, Kirsten Osei-Bonsu, Alyson Shirley and Vanya Shivashankar defeated Shawnee Mission Northwest’s team by four points to secure the title.
“The students spent weeks preparing for competition and their hard work has paid off,” Olathe North Debate and Forensics coach Richard Belske said. “They are the first Kansas City-area team to qualify for the national competition in nearly a decade and they are the only Olathe school in history to qualify.”
Mock Trial is a speaking competition that is modeled after a courtroom trial. Each year the Kansas Bar Association releases a case that is based on a trial that occurred and students become familiar with the case materials and courtroom procedure.
